Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Although Zhao Heng's illness can be called serious, his sanity is far from being confused.

In particular, there was no one fanning the flames in his ears, making alarmist talk, so that after driving Liu E out of the palace, he had a rare time to meditate.

After thinking about it, he felt more and more that the proposal of letting the prince supervise the administration of the country while he was ill was really good.

Firstly, he was ill and unable to get up early to go to the court; secondly, he was the only son under his knees, and it would be a matter of time before he passed on the great cause; thirdly, the sixth son was still young, and although he did well in his studies , the temperament is also calm and cautious, after all, he lacks the experience of being a real director, now let him exercise, in most cases, he still has to ask himself for advice.

You don't have to work hard, and you have to face impeachment and remonstrance from Taiwan officials at any time, and the power is still in your own hands...

Zhao Heng had completely forgotten the fact that he hadn't been in power for a long time, and couldn't help but be moved.

Of course, if the crown prince is really allowed to supervise the country, even if Kou Zhun's position is not for reasons, he must be promoted from among the Eastern Palace's subordinates who are honest, handsome and upright, who will neither be with Kou Zhun nor Wang Qinruo.

After all, Zhao Heng knows very well that although Kou Zhun has a domineering temper, he enjoys a high reputation among the ruling and opposition scholars, which is why he can stand upright despite years of ups and downs.

Don't look at Kou Zhun's arrogance, he has never formally formed a party, but because he admires his splendor, he is willing to follow his lead. It can be said that there are many people in the court.

Sometimes he has to avoid the edge for a while, and even suffer alone, let alone the sixth son of a half-brother?

And if Wang Qinruo and Kou Zhun were to switch positions, with Wang Qinruo as the first assistant, Zhao Heng would not be at ease.

Even though he prefers Wang Qinruo, who is good at speaking and extremely talented, but his flaws are also very obvious: serving a wise master is a virtuous man, and serving a mediocre man is a traitor.

No matter how ridiculous he acted, he never uttered a word of disapproval, let alone Kou Zhun's angry reprimand.

Instead, he will not hesitate to rummage through boxes and cabinets, tossing big and small warehouses, and also to solve problems for the Holy One, so that his wish will be fulfilled.

As soon as the crown prince didn't know much about things, how could the little man who was walking on thin ice when he first supervised the country have his discernment of loyalty and treachery?

If he still has to worry about Prince Xu Hui's heart of being bewitched by others, the meaning of appointing him to supervise the country will no longer exist.

Zhao Heng took it for granted, so he thought that Wang Qinruo was not suitable either.

Lin Neichen stood quietly by the side for a long time. When he saw this, he summoned up his courage and asked in a low voice, "Why don't the officials summon His Highness the Crown Prince and listen to what he thinks?"

When Zhao Heng heard it, he suddenly felt that it made sense, so he happily sent someone to call the little Zhao Zhen who was walking around waiting for Lu Ci.

Zhao Zhen was rarely summoned to the palace where his father was during the day. Hearing this summoning at first, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the matter.

Although under the repeated persuasion of the servants, I went to go, and I did see my father's face, but I still don't know why.

However, Zhao Heng didn't intend to go straight to the point, but to check his homework first.

Zhao Zhen answered fluently, but his heart became more and more puzzled.

But he was always calm and steady, even if he was confused, he didn't show many signs on his face.

Just for the sake of prudence, he paused for a while before answering each time, and did not speak slowly until he had considered it in his mind and made sure that there was nothing wrong with his words.

He was usually a little slow in doing things, but now that he spoke a little slower, Zhao Heng didn't notice anything wrong.

Seeing that he was casually talking about the homework of the school exam, the sixth brother could answer it smoothly and calmly, which was not as good as he was back then, and Zhao Heng's mood was also brought into a better mood.

Just when Zhao Zhen was still secretly vigilant, Zhao Heng finally explained his intentions: "I want to summon you in the near future. When I am still ill, you will supervise the country. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said honestly: "There are thousands of things in the country, and only one person makes decisions. The ministers are not talented and qualified, and they are not even a little bit better than daddy. Naturally, they are not qualified for the job of supervising the country. This is not appropriate."

In order to show that this is his serious inner thoughts, even the daily address of "I" is not used, and "Chen" is used in a serious manner.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhen continued to sit quietly, expressing in a silent manner that he was indeed unwilling.

After hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel comfortable all over.

The slight trace of subtlety brought about by giving up power in my heart disappeared in a flash.

If the six sons were positive and happy, and agreed immediately, he might hesitate for a while and think twice.

But the six sons were not only unmoved, but also solemnly expounded these few heartfelt words, and then seriously declined.

Moved and proud, Zhao Heng made up his mind to let the prince supervise the country.

Seeing Zhao Zhenming's sullen look, Zhao Heng couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and stopped pressing him, but changed the subject: "There is still a vacancy for the second assistant position. According to the sixth brother, who can compare?" suitable?"

Of course, Zhao Heng already knew the specific candidates for the assistant this time, and he was only slightly entangled among a few people.

Among them, the one he likes the most is Li Di.

Although Li Di pointed out to his face last time that the queen should not do political affairs, which made Liu E very unhappy, but after Zhao Heng felt distressed, he was like a bright mirror.

Those who are willing to sit firmly on this dragon chair for him, work hard, speak out, and even offend the saint's courtiers, are the most trustworthy and loyal gentlemen.

Especially after realizing Liu E's ambition and controlling power gradually revealed just now, Zhao Heng still has some grudges against her, and he naturally has a better impression of Li Di, who has fought against her.

Now Zhao Zhen's answer is suitable for reference.

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips, unwilling to say.

If Zhao Heng asked him, he would put on a straight face and reply seriously: "Father should be the master of the country's important affairs, so how can the ministers and clerks do it for you, so you put your beak on it?"

Zhao Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "Why, you didn't even pass the school exam?"

Zhao Zhen tilted his head, and looked suspiciously at his weird father. After a long time, under the gaze of Zhao Heng with a smile on his face, he whispered: "In my opinion, Lu Zuo Yude is quite suitable."

Zhao Heng fully thought that the sixth brother would mention those elders who accompanied him in the family, or the highly respected Taifu, but when he first heard the word 'Zuo Yude', he was stunned.

Zhao Zhen was nervous in his heart. He didn't hear his father's answer, so he couldn't help but raised his head, looked at Zhao Heng who was stunned, and said softly, "It's all up to Dad."

After a while, Zhao Heng turned the corner belatedly and realized who the unexpected nominee was.

It's not that he doesn't remember Lu Ci's official position, but it's just that he has never taken into consideration Lu Ci, who has a low rank but has been promoted at an astonishing speed.

He laughed and said: "Sixth brother wants Lu Qiaotong to be the prime minister, unless he wants to harm him, he will have to wait at least another seven or eight years."

Regardless of age, in terms of the time when he became an official, there may be a precedent like Lu Ci's, which may only have happened in the distant Twelve Prime Ministers of Gan Luo.

It's just that he repeatedly promoted him out of the ordinary and entrusted him with a promising job in the East Palace, which has already made Lu Ci extremely hated in the most senior court.

If it weren't for Lu Ci's life in a simple way, keeping a low profile and only interacting with a few old friends, not participating in the North Korean party, and even rarely going to the Yaji, I am afraid that he would not be able to continue to stay in Beijing safely.

As for Zhao Zhen's whimsical plan to let Lu resign from the position of Deputy Prime Minister, the ensuing disasters can be imagined, and they cannot be avoided by hiding at home.

It is naturally impossible for Zhao Zhen to be ignorant of this. The reason why he said it was not because he had little hope, but because he didn't want to lie in front of his father.

After hearing this ridicule, he only nodded calmly, and then he didn't speak again.

Facing such a dull gourd who doesn't make a sound without asking, although Zhao Heng is full of paternal love in his arms, it is difficult to sing this one-man show alone.

After finalizing Li Di as the second assistant candidate and finishing the discussion tomorrow morning, he waved his hand and let Zhao Zhen, who was thinking about Zishantang, go back.

The reason why he did this was not superfluous, but he was sincerely paving the way for Zhao Zhen's future team.

Even though the candidate was finalized by the emperor, before the actual appointment, Zhao Heng planned to let Zhao Zhen speak out in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then pretend that it was a final decision.

In this way, Li Di, who has been promoted, will be full of gratitude and loyalty to His Highness the Crown Prince who appreciates him.

Zhao Zhen looked preoccupied on the way back.

He is very intelligent, and his mind is very sensitive, how can he not see that his father is determined to entrust all important affairs of the country to him to supervise?

This is no joke!

However, he is only talking about government affairs on paper, and there are only a dozen or so pitiful officials in the DPRK and China that he can recognize.

Zhao Zhen was kind-hearted, he couldn't complain about his father's playful behavior, but he couldn't stop sighing.

Suddenly, it seemed that even the steps were heavy.

Lu Ci saw that Zhao Zhen was rarely listless when he was listening to the lecture, and even after being reminded repeatedly, he still had an energetic demeanor, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

However, speculation is guesswork, Lu Ci knows that most of this matter involves secrets, and the crown prince may be willing to talk about it, but he should not wantonly inquire about it just because he is close to the other party.

Zhao Zhen felt a little guilty for failing to make a successful recommendation, and was also embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to Lu Ci, so he just listened to today's class in silence.

After watching Lu Ci leave, Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but slapped himself on the forehead in annoyance, and startled the little servant beside him.

In the near future, he will be supervising the country on behalf of his father, so the time he spends listening to scriptures and lectures will naturally be reduced sharply.

And Tai Tuo's class will obviously not be interrupted.At that time, most of the people who will be exempted will be the lectures of the prince Zuo Yude, who in the eyes of others, only serves as an auxiliary assistant.

It is clear that there is not much time left to listen to Lu Zuoyude's lectures to him, but because of his low mood, he wasted those few hours just now!

The more Zhao Zhen thought about it, the more he felt depressed and regretful, but he had no choice but to sigh and continue copying the article wearily.

Three days later, Yang Yi, a Hanlin scholar, received a formal edict from the emperor, asking him to draft an edict appointing the prince to supervise the country.

This time, it was not through the mouth of his trusted old friend Kou Zhun, but it was indeed the will of the emperor himself.

Yang Yi barely restrained his extreme excitement, picked up a pen, and wrote all the manuscripts on the paper that had been considered countless times...

The author has something to say: Notes:

1. Members of the royal family all address the prince as 'brother', and the number in front represents the ranking to distinguish.For example, Zhao Gou is the ninth son of Zhao Ji, so Zhao Ji called Zhao Gou the ninth brother.And the elder brother calls the younger brother, also ranking + brother, not ranking + younger brother ("Pretending to Live in the Song Dynasty")

2. Li Di's superiority is a historical fact, but at that time Kou Zhun had already been dismissed

On August [-]th, Li Di became prime minister, and he was chosen by the crown prince himself.

At that time, Zhao Heng reluctantly supported his sick body, convened a meeting of ministers, and asked Li Di to take office in public, but Li Di refused.At this moment, the prince, who was only eleven years old, came out suddenly and saluted his father: "Thank you, father, for letting Li Binke be the prime minister." Li Di, originally a guest of the prince, would get along with the future emperor day and night.

Zhao Heng smiled slightly: "The crown prince has said so, Li Xiang, do you still want to decline?"

Li Di took office.But this disappointed Ding Wei and others "If this is Song History 2"
